1933

Another summer has came and went, and a real hot one it was, too! Your scribe and family had a vacation of the dream variety which should make us the envy of the crowd - we rented a house in Hanover for a month, and sallied forth from there (your secretary for two short weeks only) to Storrs Pond, Hilton Country Club, the tennis courts, Baker Library, the Nugget, the Outing Club House, Manchester's Gulf Service, the Inn cocktail lounge, the White Church, Theriault's kitchen, Campion's and the Co-op, Al's, Hanover Rotary Club, Norwich Fair, Lake Mascoma, Mt. Moosilauke, Lake Winnepesaukee, Newfound Lake, Dover, N. H., and various points in between. It was a different kind of vacation than we had ever tried before, and it was just as exciting and as much fun as we thought it would be. Experience highly recommended! In the course of our travels, we ran into Jim Merson and John Trickey at Winnepesaukee and Betty Lobitz, JohnnyRockwell's sister, in Hanover. Missed a at Moosilauke and never did find out who it was.

Did you know that Bill Bates of Hartford is on the Alumni Council and was the only official "guest" at the annual Alumni Officers Meeting in Hanover last May? The official attendance list had him accompanied by his wife but he wasn't, and we were sorry not to see her. Anyway, the news of Bates' appointment to the Alumni Council as a reward for his vigorous proselytism for Dartmouth among secondary school boys and bait for more of the same (Bates has the silly notion that a boy shouldn't be kept out of Dartmouth simply because he can throw or catch a football with agility and finesse), had completely missed this department, and we hereby make public apology, therefore, along with our public congratulations!

Mr. and Mrs. Elliot E. Wentworth staved at the Inn in August, and other guests there during the summer were Carl Shineman and family, Jerry Dulcher and family and Mr. andMrs. Jack Hun ley.

I have a note that Robert L. Woodcock is leaving the U. S. on a four-month overseas research contract for the State Department, in the Far East and the Near East. You will remember that Bob is engaged in the international program of the economics division of the Stanford Research Institute.

larry O'Leary, principal of Waterford Memorial School in Waterford, Me., whose father was principal of Lawrence High School, received his Master of Education degree at Boston U. in June, and in doing so became the fourth among his brothers and sisters to be awarded a Master's degree. Harry has two Dartmouth brothers and a sister (not a Dartmouth graduate) who have earned the degree. Faith, 'tis a fine record the O'Learys have accomplished! Indaid, a phenomenal family!

Forrie Branch, whom we saw in Hanover this summer relaxing from his coaching duties at Hanover High, served as head coach for the New Hampshire All-Star schoolboy squad which battled a similar group from Vermont in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game August 27 at Manchester. We haven't seen the result of the game, but would be interested in knowing about it.

We have a lot of other news for you but think we shall cut it a little short this month, with just a couple of final words.

You have had Drck Jackson's full report on '33's effort in the Alumni Fund. It warn't so good, and it warn't so bad. We can get too more givers next year and see that Dick has the 450 he wishes for. Our average gift is coming up ($35.27 this year, $31.63 last), but we still have to reach our quota some year. The Fund itself hit about $775,000, some $25,000 over the goal, and from it some $112,000 was added to Dartmouth's scholarship funds. Alumni participation hit 69.4%, a new record for Dartmouth and a figure that ties the present "world's record" established by Princeton earlier this year. The Alumni Fund was magnificent. The Class of 1933 can match the Fund in magnificence, and we shall see it soon.

On October 14 and 15 the executive committee of the Class is meeting for the first time in Hanover. Any members of the Class who are nearby and interested are cordially invited 10 join the meeting and bend their able brains to the problems of the Class. It looks like there might be a party and a small reunion as well as some serious business and a Lafayette football game, so we hope to see a goodly delegation of you-all that weekend. We think it will be worthwhile.
